But now I'm unable to rebuild maxima-5.26.0, even with ecls-12.7.1 installed.

- Providing system maxima
This is because sbcl, gentoo-init, asdf, asdf-binary-locations in the main
tree are inconsistent (versions which really work can be installed from
the lisp overlay). The set of developers in the common-lisp herd is nearly
empty, and the situation will not improve. A workaround for this problem
has been introduced in recent maxima ebuilds in the main tree (I think, a
couple of latest versions). They are known to build with any lisp present
in Gentoo.
